Just in front of Horyuji temple, I could visit twice for a short stay. Onsen hot spring baths are small but very relaxing. Breakfast is delicious and well done. Room is just right size for 2 people. Located in very quiet area, so slept very deeply. Private free tour (only in Japanese) was very interesting and beyond my expectation.

There is no restaurant around the property, its better to reserve dinner at the hotel.

Its location, totally remote from the major tourist spots, but still close to a famous big temple. Very nice little town. Staff was super nice and very helpful and respectful. The typical and delicious breakfast.

Difficult to get to (with big luggage taxi was my only option and taxis are not easy to find). Restaurants around close early and not so easy to get to in the evening.

All of the staff were very friendly. By the second day most everyone knew me. The food was well prepared—good presentation and delicately seasoned. The room was large and airy. Located next to small farms and Horyuji temples , the atmosphere was rustic, quiet , and peaceful.

You must use bus or taxi service. The last bus from the station is 16:45 and the first bus to the station is 9:20 am. Taxi costs 1100 yen one way. Bus stop is 3 minutes from hotel. Walking is treacherous in some areas as the road narrows and it has intersections you must negotiate. No laundromat in hotel.

The atmosphere was very peaceful and the lounge was small but lovely! I loved the public bath and the bath cloth/shoes which the hotel nicely prepared for everyone.

Unfortunately, the breakfast did not have vegetarian options. One has to inform the hotel a week ahead for special diet arrangement. Most restaurants near the hotel were closed at night in that area, but luckily we found a chain restaurant 5 minutes walk from the hotel.

A 10+ on the wonderful warm, welcoming, professional staff, the comfy, very clean & well appointed room. The Japanese breakfast was a new experience, delicious & plentiful with great attention to service. We loved the complimentary 2 hour Temple tour provided by the hotel even though it was in Japanese! And our evening communal baths were wonderful with 2 selections…one green tea & one with infrared stones. Hope to go back around the world to it one day!

We wish that we would have known that we had to make reservations for dinner on the property as there are very few options in the vicinity.

it was clean, quiet, near the horyunji temple. there is a bus stop close to the hotel so you can take a short bus ride from the train station. the room was clean with nice amenities. there was a nice public bath and the breakfast was delicious.

The guide Mr. Nakae was brilliant!

Check in procedure extremely complicated and the program schedule was very confusing. Unfortunately the public bath was far too small and opening hours too short and restricted

Privacy ,cleanliness, clean quiet onsen. Location close to the temple in 1 min, we can't speak Japanese but the staff recommended us to book English tour online in advance. Volunter guide Nakao came before the appointment time waiting for us. The temple in the late afternoon really impressed us.

Air con in the room kept shutting down, could be from the setup of remote control which we could not read japanese.

A pristine and relaxing stay Recommended for city folk who desire a well- rested break Clean air and food and quiet surrounds Directly opposite Horyuji temple Interesting planned events (Buddhism centred presentation and quiz) Front reception staff are pleasant, warm, cheerful and helpful

The food is a little bland

The Location, breakfast and parking as well as the services during our stay were excellent.
